Hello Everyone, I'm new to the forum and Bigger Pockets. I just bought my first deal in Highland Park right off Woodward Ave. There is only one issue that I have been stumped on which is the Boiler system. In most cas...

Depending on use, you could even get away with an oil filled radiator heater that runs on 120 volts versus installing a 220 circuit.The way I did it was to utilize my central gas boiler.

Heat is all traditional column hot water radiators fed from a single boiler.

I like those electric radiator heaters there is no fan so there is no noise and they are cheaper to run. they cost $40-$50.https://www.tractorsupply.com/...

The cost to retrofit a triplex top to bottom in such flooring would be astronomical, and the boiler installation running the radiators with pipes leading to each radiator is not the boiler installation you would need to feed and run multiple floor installations.

Repainted, fixed radiator covers, replaced carpets.- Future opportunity to renovate bottom unit and replace back decks to increase rent and increase value of property.- Wrapped closing costs into the loan (Less money down!)

(Based on what I see it looks like gas is the way to go since it can use the existing radiators)3.

But with nothing more than my Home Depot how-to books, YouTube, and some advice from friends in various trades, I forged ahead.While I hired out the new panel, roof, gutters, back porch, and radiator repairs, I did all of the other work myself.

That being said, depending on the type of system (forced air vs radiators) it can be a pretty expensive process.  

And it does have central radiator heat which comes at the owner's expense.
